This so called fritto misto was seerved at a Restaurant in Scopello a sea shore hmlet in the territory of Castellammare del Golfo. Needless to sy the sea food was absolutely delicious because it was super fresh and the Mediterranean Sea produces super tsty sea food. There's nothing wrong with the red chammel. that was the true color of the shrimps, What else cn I add.

Penne rigate con carciofini

What do you do after a morning of fighting snow and ice? You cook, naturally. This simple  pasta with baby artichokes hit the spot. I was fortunate to find  baby artichokes  at my local  frutta e verdura store so I could make this very simple dish. Needless to say, it was delicious especially with a small glass of Sangiovese wine.

Simply delicious

The genius of Italian food is it's simplicity. That doesn't mean that there aren't complex dishes that take hours or even days to prepare, but one can achieve delicious results by simply using the best and freshest ingredients. Pasta all'aglio, olio e peperoncino, is a prime example of this.  To the main ingredients: garlic, oil and red pepper flakes, I added some anchovies  paste and some non toasted  plain bread  crumbs and naturally some pecorino, The parsley is for garnish although it adds some subtle flavor. This easy and fast dish is very healthful. Free radicals do not stand a chance.
